Goblin Cock
Warship
DC9
I didn't know anything about these bands but went to this show based on GC's name alone. I had hyped this up in my head and fortunately wasn't disappointed. A note about the crowd - where are these people the rest of the time? I never see metal people just around in DC and I've never seen any of this crowd at Jaxx or in Baltimore (those that I would remember, anyway, you know, sexy beardos). Weird.
Warship is a two-piece with a singing drummer and a third man for this tour. I just now looked up their myspace and their singing drummer is in From Autumn to Ashes, which explains a lot. Musically, I thought they were very good but I didn't enjoy most of the vocals (see FATA, although I saw them so long ago it's not on this blog). I also thought their set was a little disjointed, with some really rocking songs and then some slower ones that didn't seem to flow very well together. But I liked them enough that I would check them out in the future if they come back to DC. Also, I recommend their album - Supply & Demand.
Goblin Cock. It's a great name on several levels. Their set looks like something from the J&A Halloween party and they come out dressed in cloaks and there was more stage fog than that Nacht-something band and New Rock Church of Fire combined. I can't believe I didn't have an asthma attack in there. I guess I would describe them as stoner rock with random 80's covers thrown in. Fucking awesome! And they all played BC Riches! Overall it was an experience I look forward to repeating. Goblin Cock.
